Against the backdrop of an explosion of interest in new techniques
for data collection and theory testing, this volume provides a
fresh programmatic statement about comparative-historical analysis.
It examines the advances and distinctive contributions that CHA has
made to theory generation and the explanation of large-scale
outcomes that newer approaches often regard as empirically
intractable. An introductory essay locates the sources of CHA's
enduring influence in core characteristics that distinguish this
approach, such as its attention to process and its commitment to
empirically grounded, deep case-based research. Subsequent chapters
explore broad research programs inspired by CHA work, new analytic
tools for studying temporal processes and institutional dynamics,
and recent methodological tools for analyzing sequences and for
combining CHA work with other approaches. This volume is essential
reading for scholars seeking to learn about the sources of CHA's
enduring influence and its contemporary analytical and
methodological techniques.
